The Moravska Croats – A Disappearing National Branch?

Dragutin PAVLIČEVIĆ

Sažetak

The author discusses the Moravska Croats as the oldest
Croatian diaspora which experienced two migrations. The
first was in the 16th century due to Turkish incursions, and
the second in the mid twentieth century when the Czech
government forcibly displaced them to northern Moravska.
There they were scattered into more than a hundred
settlements and subjected to systematic assimilation.
Although the Czech government recognised their minority
status in 1991 and apologised for this genocidal action in 1999, the Moravska Croats have not yet been compensated
nor returned to their villages. The action mentioned was also
an introduction to their gradual liquidation as a Croatian
national group.
